    The given line has been taken from the following stanza of the poem "A thousand martyrs" by Aphra Behn

    "A thousand martyrs I have made,

    All sacrificed to my desire;

    A thousand beauties have betrayed,

    That languish in resistless fire.

    The untamed heart to hand I brought,

    And fixed the wild and wandering thought."

    The line "That languish in resistless fire" means that the beauties still burn with longing and desire for the speaker.
